A 48-year-old self-employed court reporter referenced by President Barack Obama as a beneficiary of his Affordable Care Act during a recent address has learned that she’s one of the latest Americans to be duped by another Obamacare false promise.

From the White House rose garden late last month, Pres. Obama
read a letter he received from Jessica Sanford, a Washington
state single mom who had recently found out that the president’s
hallmark health care plan would cost her a fraction of what she
previously paid to cover herself and her son.

“I am a single mom. No child support, self-employed and I
haven't had insurance for 15 years because it's too expensive. My
son has ADHD and requires regular doctor visits and his meds
alone cost $250 per month,” Obama quoted from Sanford’s note.
“Now finally, we get to have coverage because of the ACA for
$169 per month. I was crying the other day when I signed up, so
much stress lifted.”

Unfortunately for Sanford, that stress-free experience was rather
short-lived. It has now been reported that shortly after she sent
that letter to the president, Sanford was informed that a glitch
on the Washington state exchange and enrollment website caused
the cost of coverage to be grossly under-estimated. According to
CNN, Sanford was one of thousands of Washingtonians who was later
told that the fault website miscalculated her cost and
erroneously informed her that she qualified for a hefty tax
credit.

"The Exchange would like to sincerely apologize to Jessica
Sanford and all those affected in Washington State by this
error," Washington Health Benefit Exchange CEO Richard
Onizuka said in a statement provided to the network.
"Unfortunately, Jessica Sanford is one of the individuals who
is affected by this tax credit miscalculation.”

Sanford reached out to CNN and said she likely won’t be
signing-up for healthcare under the ACA because the actual cost
of coverage for her and her son would be nowhere near as low as
she was originally told.

"I'm not getting insurance unless I pay more money than I'm
willing to pay," Sanford said. “I've always been in this
middle place. I make too much but I don't make enough."

In response, White House press secretary Jay Carney said, "We
are certainly sorry as we can be that Jessica is one of the folks
that has been affected by this.” As weeks’ worth of news
articles have indicated, however, Ms. Sanford is far from the
only American upset with the ACA. Not only were Washington state
residents who attempted to buy coverage during the first 23 days
of the website’s launch offered inaccurate figures, but glitches
on the national website have made the president’s hallmark plan
the laughing stock of his administration so far.

According to a ABC News/Washington Post poll released on
Tuesday this week, Americans disapprove of Obama’s handling of
the act’s implementation by roughly 2-to-1, and a majority of the
public — 57 percent —opposes the law overall.
